Ron Paul: The US will end up occupying Pakistan

Ron Paul appeared on Morning Joe this morning and tangled a bit with Mike Barnicle on the MSNBC show over the Obama administration’s handling of Pakistan. If you think the moment of highest irony comes at the one-minute mark when the Congressman who plays footsie with Truthers like Alex Jones talks dismissively of “conspiracy theorists,” stay tuned. That’s just the irony warm-up:
[...]
Nor is this the only conspiracy theory that Paul spins in this segment. Two minutes after dismissing conspiracy theorists, Paul states that he doesn’t believe the account from the White House on when Osama bin Laden was killed, when they got the DNA, and asks if anyone at MSNBC has any information on it. “But — that’s a conspiracy theory!” the panel says, sounding shocked, shocked! that Paul might float such a notion. Don’t stop there, though, because Paul then explains the factual basis of his prediction that the US will occupy a nation of over 140 million people, armed with nuclear weapons.

Interesting how Ed asserts that the US military is only capable of going after weaker nations, and ones without nuclear weapons...

Also, it's speculation. Not a conspiracy theory.

But of course it must be a conspiracy theory: then we don't need to take it seriously as analysis, or address the points made.

Oh dear. They will play these interviews back in 10 years to see Ron was right. Man before his time sadly.
